Yards: 1600
Time: 45 min.
Stroke count: 20
Felt: Left shoulder felt sore.
Challenges/Progress: I had a hard day with Claire, who seemed extra passive-aggressive and disobedient today. I was so angry when I started swimming. Swimming helped me get it out and calm down. Despite having a sore shoulder, I kept going and added an extra 250 to the assigned 1350 workout, for a total of 16. Did drills, in which I woul breathe every 6 strokes. I really love this, as it is even more rhythmic and relaxing.
Fears: The typical one about blowing out my shoulder(s). Not really rational. Makes me afraid to push myself. But if I don't push myself, what is the point of having shoulders at all?
Emotion: Very angry, but became less and less angry as I swam.
Learned:
1) Just because I am hurting, doesn't mean I should stop the workout.
2) Good thing I calmed down. Claire was only acting that way, because she had a fever! When I found that out, I felt guilty for having allowed myself to get mad!
